Does the water that passes through an activated carbon filter have a tint of black and is it safe to drink?

The first load of water that passes through an activated carbon filter may contain some carbon dust (which will give it a tint of black). You are normally advised to flush the filter through once or twice and discard these first flushings. You will find that after this the water comes through clear. I am sure the carbon will not harm you but just to be safe discard the tinted water.

What are the steps to purify water using charcoal?

I believe it is mean the activated charcoal or in common, activated carbon. Activated carbon (steamed charcoal under vacuum) had porous structure that can absorb many organic solvent, free chlorine in water and absorb smell. It was widely use in water treatment, some might leave activated carbon in fish tank to absorb organic waste and keep the water clean.


How is activated carbon used in a filter?

The simple answer is through absorption. Activated carbon is not very picky about what it absorbs including many organics. It is a wonderful media for improving taste and odors of almost all kinds. Because of it's absorption characteristics it can also provide a prime habitat for microorganisms to grow. Nonpathogenic microorganisms can be a nuisance and actually create bad taste and odor. It is important, therefore, to change activated carbon filters on a regular basis, or backwash an activated carbon media bed accordingly.


What happens to lime-water if carbon dioxide is bubbled through it and heated?

How is a Pure water filter different from a Brita water filter?

Pur water filters and Brita water filters have a lot in common in the sense that they both filter out the impurities in water. However, a Pur water filter does it by filtering the water through activated carbon which absorbs the impurities. Brita on the other hand does this same thing expect it filters the water through activated carbon and an ion exchange resin. So the difference between Pur and Brita is that Brita takes the filtration process a step further.
